Maybe people should care more about voting if they dont like the results. Just sayin...

Given the context of the UK political climate, who would you have voted for?

*The tories that caused brexit (along with plenty of other scandals)

*UKIP/Reform (who's members also caused brexit)

*Lib Dems (split the left vote and help the aforementioned)

*Labour who as of the last election, hadn't had a go at shafting us in a while

Im not saying voting isn't important, it is. But i'm struggling to see the connection between this issue and who could be voted for.

The only party that i've seen against this change is Reform, but they come with more than enough baggage..

But I was told that third parties would fix everything in the US?

With literally one change, a national-level replacement of FPTP with any other ranked choice voting system (there are plenty to choose from) would make 3rd parties not only viable, but competitive. We would no longer be required to settle for the lesser of two evils, and so the evil party and the greater evil party will absolutely do everything in their power to avoid making that change.
